Hey, I was just wondering; with all this concern about the building up of gasses under deeper sand, has anyone actually seen or had a zebra or any other fish die from running into one of these gas pockets? I'm not denying their existence or potential danger but has anyone had any first hand experien...

Thanks for the zebras Lonnie, They look incredible.

Buddy. Your question, is not about zebras or even how the sand mentioned affects zebras. Google pool filter sand.

If you don't feel like talking about technical stuff, then simply don't read the topics involving it.

what's the furthest anyone has gone with inbreeding and still resulted in fish with (visually) no deformities. I realize that it's quite obvious that many people breed F1s with a very small percentage of deformed fish. However, just to clarify I'm not completely sure if this is where the problem lie...

That's what I've settled on, tahitian moon sand and were those plant suggestions ones that cannot handle it or ones that can?

Much appreciated barbie. I'll just do some easy plants and find a different black substrate.

I don't know, I've seen varied opinions on plants. Some say they keep plants fine at zebra temps. Others say they always die. I like a planted tank, for looks and water quality. I really like the look of the black substrate. So, what about tahitian moon sand?

Thanks raul

Ok, I did a quick search and was unable to see any topics on eco-complete planted as a substrate. I was wondering if anyone has had any spawns or even kept zebras with this. The pro's seem endless... 1. It's black to reduce stress and enhance color 2. It's packaged in amazon blackwater 3. It's great...

What do you mean? I've got my tank waiting, ready to go!

How hilarious, and cute too.

Do they always swim in a single file line like that?

Buddy, most people use slate tile and aquarium safe silicone to build caves. Check out lyretail's caves or search aquabid for caves. If you want it to look like a pile of rocks, then why not use a pile of rocks?

Is it just a diamond tip on the drill bit, or is it a whole different type of drill? Also what is the diameter?
